Veil Nebula or Great Cygnus Loop

Revision title: HOO1

This is a 2 panel Mosiac taken the night before last using Ha and OIII filters. This is a pretty tough target to process as the Ha can be very bright and can look blown out or even like a water color is you are not careful. But I do love the contrast of colors in this image created by the two main gases located in this complex. I used APP to combine the Ha and OIII images. The first image used APP's HOO2 preset and the second used APP's HOO1 preset sliders. I like the star color better in the HOO2, but I think the fainter parts of the nebulas show up better in HOO1. I think both look decent and is you zoom in, I love all the delicate filamentary details that showed up.

This complex is actually 3 large nebulas' that are remnants of a supernova explosion that happened between 5,000 and 8,000 years ago. It is known by different names, the Cirrus Nebula, the Bridal Veil Nebula or simply the Veil Nebula. Included in this complex are the Eastern and Western Veil Nebulas.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
